Director Statement

Ded Square and I watched endless clips of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly to inspire our choreography for the video, before coming up with our own creations such as The Sailor-Crab and The Ticking Clock. After shooting had wrapped, the chance discovery of a matching vintage pheasant sweatshirt made me rethink the video's concept. We returned to the pink art deco apartments and our 'Singin' in the Rain' video somehow morphed into something closer to the 90s thriller 'Single White Female'.
